COMP Undergraduate Workshop

2016 COMP Workshop for Undergraduate Students
American Chemical Society National Meeting
San Diego, CA
March 13 - 17, 2016

To provide specific programming for undergraduates, the
Computers in Chemistry Division will host a Workshop for Undergraduate Students
in COMP at the Spring ACS meeting in San Diego. The focus audience is current
junior and senior chemistry and biochemistry majors. Applications are considered on a rolling basis beginning October
1, 2015.

Up to 30 outstanding undergraduate chemistry students will
be selected for a series of undergraduate-focused talks during the San Diego
meeting. In order for this program to be more accessible to undergraduate
students:

The COMP Division will organize a series of
introductory talks for the undergraduates by experts in the field to provide
background content and additional context on the symposium topics.

Student participants are required to present
their research results as part of the Division of Computers in Chemistry poster
session on Tues evening March 15, 2016. Awards for Outstanding Undergraduate
Research will be given.

Students will share a 5-minute oral preview of
their posters to an audience of their peers.

The workshop will end with a roundtable
discussion on COMP-related careers from members of academia and industry.

With the financial support of the Division and a grant from
ACS we are able to pay for the student registration fee for the 30
undergraduate participants. We are not able, however, to support transportation,
housing or meal costs. We therefore ask that as part of the nomination process,
your institution commit the funds needed to make student participation
possible. Selected recipients must be members of the ACS before attending the
meeting.

Ideal candidates for participation in this program will be
chemistry or biochemistry majors (or in a chemically related field) who meet
most or all of the following criteria: they have completed at least one
semester of organic chemistry, will be juniors or seniors at the time of the San
Diego ACS meeting, and are considering graduate school in a chemistry-related
field.
